AI, the Future, and You
Explore AI’s potential impact on future careers through critical reflection, skill discovery, and strategic planning.
Subject Ethics & Philosophy
Generative AI and Stasis Theory
Use Generative AI to update and enhance engagement with a classical rhetorical heuristic–the four questions of Stasis Theory–effective for developing an argument by locating the issue or dispute in a case.
The Medium is (a big part of) the Message
Critically explore how the interface design choices and “personalities” of AI writing tools shape our experience of interacting with them.
AI in Teachers’ Hands
Reflect on the impact and ethics of a teacher submitting an AI-generated reference letter without the student’s knowledge or consent.
AI Image Remixing
Work with an AI image mixer tool to explore the possibilities and limits of creative collaboration.
Debating the Ethics of Generative AI
Facilitate a debate between students about the potential harms and benefits of using generative AI tools in the classroom.
Illustrate a Hoax
Explore the potential for AI image-generation tools (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc.) to corroborate false narratives, or provide “evidence” that would be characterized as misinformation.
AI as a Mirror
Is it possible to learn about oneself through dialog with a chatbot? What would be required to get there? What would that mean (psychologically, philosophically, and ethically)? Do we understand where self-knowledge comes from?
AI Validation
Students evaluate an LLM’s “reasoning” to clarify their own understanding of how to solve a problem.
